For the first time it brings together all the available information on the foundation and subsequent history of each bank together with the business and private lives of the partners. The result is a fascinating view of the economic history of the period and a unique tool for further analysis. The first private bank was founded in 1688 taking advantage of the speed of communication made possible by the post roads which enabled the rapid spread of news and exchange of credit - essentials of banking then as now. These private co-partnerships were started as small local businesses by men who while not 'bankers' were respected by their neighbours for their social respectability and business acumen. Banks quickly developed links with one another, links that were necessarily personal. In fact three-quarters of the second and subsequent generations of country bank partners were connected by birth or marriage to other partners and proudly called themselves bankers. A new profession was born which covered England and Wales with a network of mutual trust and shared information and which could also tied provincial economies into London via the banks' London agents. The last bank was taken over in 1953. The book itself is in three parts. The Register of Towns with their Banks in Volume 2 lists every recorded bank by town giving the full history of the bank, all its partners, and full details of both as well as sources, references and cross-references to other banks. Branches are also detailed. The Commentary in Volume 1 analyses all the data presented elsewhere, fitting the country bank into the economic and social history of Britain during a crucial period. Finally there are lists (drawn from the Register) of all partners, partners' houses, and breakdowns of partners by trade or other groupings such as MPs. There is also a Select Bibliography. For many decades to come "Country Banks of England and Wales" will provide a rich source of data on the economic and social history of England and Wales as well as on the local history of the towns and the family history of thousands of individuals. -- Much more than an anecdotal account of the evolution of the UK's banking network, this is a unique and comprehensive work of first-hand research painstakingly compiled over a number of years. It charts the growth of rural and country town banks from the seizure of the post roads by the government at the end of the 17th century, transforming trade and communication between London and the rest of the country. It offers a fascinating examination of the people who founded the country banks and of their ancestors. The majority of those who succeeded the founders of many of these banks were related to each other, creating a national grid of family connections and power. Presented as a case bound two volume set within a slip case. Volume one is a commentary on the growth of rural banks. Volume two is a complete record of the founders of these banks, their successors and a detailed account of how the merging of the various institutions led to the creation of many of the major financial institutions we know today.
